Huntress cover

In a world where nature is out of balance, Huntress follows two chosen heroes on a perilous journey filled with danger and unexpected love.

In Huntress, the world is in a state of disarray as nature's balance is disrupted. With the sun absent for years, crops wither, and the emergence of strange, hostile creatures threatens the very survival of humanity. In this dire situation, hope lies in the ancient oracle stones, which reveal that Kaede and Taisin are chosen to embark on a perilous journey to Tanlili, the mystical city ruled by the Fairy Queen. Their quest is not only a test of bravery but also a search for answers to restore harmony to their land.

Kaede, grounded and connected to the earth, contrasts sharply with Taisin, a sage imbued with potent magic. Despite their differences, the two young women find their fates intertwined as they navigate the dangers that lie ahead. As they face unearthly attacks and the deceptive tricks of fairies, their reliance on one another deepens, leading to an unexpected romantic bond. However, the stakes are high, and the Kingdom can only afford to have one huntress emerge victorious.

The journey in Huntress is not just about survival; it’s about self-discovery and the sacrifices one must make for love and duty. As they confront the challenges that threaten to tear them apart, Kaede and Taisin must grapple with the harsh reality of their mission and the choices that will shape their destinies forever.
